MUNICH \u2014 Some contracts come with strings attached, others with husbands. In a remarkable set of coincident artistic priorities for company boss Nikolaus Bachler<\/a> \u2014 or a broad capitulation \u2014 Bavarian State Opera<\/a>\u2019s 2016\u201317 season, announced today, features no fewer than six divas in performance with their husbands. Edita Gruberov\u00e1<\/a>, El\u012bna Garan\u010da<\/a> and Kristine Opolais<\/a> will star in Roberto Devereux<\/em>, La Favorite<\/em> and Rusalka<\/em> while their other halves conduct. Diana Damrau<\/a>, Anna Netrebko<\/a> and Aleksandra Kurzak<\/a> will headline Lucia di Lammermoor<\/em>, Macbeth<\/em> and La Juive<\/em> while alongside them their spouses sing. In another family tie, Vladimir Jurowski<\/a> has apparently been allowed to abandon the new Ognenny angel<\/em> he led (electrically) this season in favor of \u2026 his dad. Small wonder 2016\u201317 is dubbed \u201cWas folgt<\/a>\u201d: What follows.<\/p>\n
